LET HIM OUT!

PSALM 35:28 (MSG)
I’ll tell the world how great and good you are,
   I’ll shout Hallelujah all day, every day.


COLOSSIANS 3:16 (NLT)
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
If you're full of Christ let him out!

DAILY FODDER
Practically speaking, what does it look like when Christ fills a life?

PRAYER
Good God, thank you for sending Christ into the world. He has made a big change—especially for those who welcome him into their lives. Forgive me for taking this wonderful thing for granted. Keep filling my life with your presence until wisdom, direction, and songs of praise burst the seams, and the world around me starts to join in the song. I want the way that I live to shout "Hallelujah!" all day, every day. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
